A new data released comes shocking to all the women. This claims that cancer rate in women will multiply by six times as compared to men in the next twenty years down the line.
In either of the sexes, the increased likeliness of cancer is due to poor lifestyle habits and obesity, warns Cancer Research UK. The center also alerts that women will inexplicably suffer due to the rise the reason being adverse effects of certain cancer types mainly on women all of which are due to obesity. On the rise are cervical and oral cancers.
The death rate due to cancer is higher than those due to TB, AIDS, Malaria, and others altogether. The Charity’s Chief Executive, Sir Carpal Kumar states that the people are prone to face increased challenges throughout the world, UK included.
In a promising hint he gave, Harpal said more funds are being invested towards researches. Concrete improvements will be made in the following two decades. This will be used to diagnose diseases and provide better treatments. All these are targeted to be achieved within 2034.
By the year 2035, over 4.5 million women and 4.8 million men will be positive for Cancer, the organization report states. The cancer increase rate is 3.5 percent within women and 0.5 percent in men.
Drinking alcohol, though being a prominent reason to causing cancer, is not as threatening as the reasons of obesity or smoking.
In the UK, the smoking rate is significantly falling. It is also to be noted that women took up the poor habit only after men did. In other words, there is sharp impact of smoking in women.
What are the most common cancer types women suffer with? So, here is the list – breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, bowel cancer, etc are among the major cancer types that contribute to over 53 percent of new cancer cases in the UK.
By the year 2035, the total number of breast cancer is expected to be 71,022 while the same was 54,833 in 2014. Ovarian cancer will increase from 7367 to 10,500 and lung cancer will increase to 29,957 from the number 21,633.
This is a very highly devastating disease. Cancer rates are likely to steeply increase in women. This greatly bothers us as causes of cancer are controllable.
It is agonizing to know that one third of the common types of cancer could be prevented if we had practiced healthier food habits, and regular exercise.
